Where to eat authentic Dutch-Burgher Lamprais in Colombo?

The Dutch Burgher Union (DBU) headquarters in Colombo 04 is, without real debate, the definitive place to eat authentic Lamprais. It is traditionally prepared and wrapped, then baked in banana leaves.

True Lamprais is a labour-intensive dish, built from mixed meat curry, Dutch frikkadels, blachan, and rice that gets cooked twice. The DBU carefully maintains the original colonial recipe; no localised additions like boiled eggs or chicken are allowed, so you get a historically accurate culinary experience in a charming heritage atmosphere.
